Hello fellow Apple users,

I am a switcher as of when ever I get my G5 in. Actually I used to be a die hard Mac user but had to swtich due to the job. But its good to be back...*sigh*.

Anywho...I was wondering what remote desktop software you guys like to use for the mac. On the PC I used either the built in Microcrap terminal server/remote desktop or my beloved VNC which was very cross platform universal and had a really cool Java web service that came in handy. I know that VNC is available for OS X but I didn't know if it was the best or even stable. I also know that Apple writes one but it isn't cross platform. Basicly I need a remote desktop software that will make my Mac G5 remote on any platform easily.



Thanks in advance,

CGP

    here is another choice, not knowing what your budget is. It is platform independant.

    Apple's software is cross-platform... it falls back on VNC when it can't access the Apple specific protocol. It's probably overkill for home use though - it's more for managing huge labs of computers (with things like remote software upgrade, batch processing, locking screens, etc.)
